When Everything Falls Apart

      My favorite songs seem to be the ones that put into words everything that I'm thinking but can't find the words to say on my own. I'm not really one to speak my mind to just anyone. I have a small group of people that I will tell everything to and can talk for hours without skipping a beat. Aside from those few, though, I tend to be pretty shy and reserved with my thoughts. That's one of the reasons I started this blog.
     Because I listen to music so much, certain songs have become ingrained in my memory. Random songs pop into my head at least ten times a day, even songs I haven't listened to in years. One that I started thinking of today was When Everything Falls Apart by Fee. The lyrics to this song are a massive comfort to me.
     "When everything falls apart, Your arms hold me together. When everything falls apart, You´re the only hope for this heart. When everything falls apart and my strength is gone, I find you mighty and strong, You keep holding on. You keep holding on."
     This song stuck with me the first time I heard it because the first time I heard it was during one of those "rough patches" that everyone goes through. It gave me peace. I can't make it through life without Christ and I am so thankful that I don't have to. Let's face it- being a teenage girl, I fall apart over some pretty stupid things. It's nice to know that any time I fall apart, even if it's over something stupid, God picks up the pieces and makes me better than I was before. God puts trials in our lives to make us better. Strangely enough, when we break, we grow.
     "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing the the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1: 2-4
